Good evening everyone
Me
Hitman notices the Maj. on Deck. Major on Deck! with a salute
Reamer knells down to check to see if the FireFox missiles are loaded properly as he walks around his Viper. Satisfied everything is OK he climbs in to start his preflight.
Vampire good to see you make sure your Viper is ready to go!
Salute to Major and Lt.
my viper is ready to go
Reamer salutes Hitman and says, stop the saluting there's no need for that.
Lets get ready to show what the Tigers can do as a squadron.
I am always gonna get you Maj,. you know that! We go back a long way..
this will be my first cap with the tigers.
If we're lucky, we'll get to do some target practice if you know what I mean...

Comments
Happy Anniversary Flying Tigers!! Great job recycling those toasters!!
(Reamer crawls out of his rack at the usual time even though he'd been drinking last night after the CAP. He makes his way to the hanger bay to check on the squadrons Mk-II's. Trek's bird is torn apart as the knuckle draggers replace his Port side engine to get it ready to fly.
As Reamer checks each Mk-II he's finding lots of dings and debris stuck in the engine inlets. Finally he gets to his ride and to his surprise he pulls a Golden chunk of scrap from his starboard engine inlet. Yeah.....I wasn't dreaming......!!!
Just then, Chief Beaton comes up behind him and says, "Can't your pilots return from a CAP without damaging each and every Viper?" Well Chief, it's not up to me! Take your complaints to the Cylons! As Reamer walks toward the briefing room he hears the Chief yelling at his crew to start repairing the deck as soon as they finish with the pointy nosed Viper jocks Mk-II's! Reamer walks out of the hanger and into the briefing room with a big smile on his face and the piece of Cylon Gold in his hand.)
